This article really makes it sound as if polymyxin B is some kind of toothpaste or laundry detergent. That's just not the case. It is quite specific for lipopolysaccharide.—Precedingunsigned comment added byM palmer45 (talk •contribs)00:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Very good article - only two comments1. "Proteus group" should probably be "the genus Proteus" or a similar phrase. "Proteus group" is rarely used in microbiology. I can find only a couple of instances in the literature of the phrase "Proteus group", none of these are from the 21st Century. 2. Serratia marcescens are almost always resistant to polymyxin B, and this species should be added to the list of polymyxin B resistant Gram-negative organisms.Best regards— Precedingunsigned comment added by71.162.6.155 (talk)01:59, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is a GABA antagonist and may contribute to seizures and psychosis.[1]
This is based on a 1979 primary source. We need better sources. It was done "In eight anesthetized cats"Doc James (talk ·contribs ·email)22:05, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
